         Appeal No. 2006-1492                                                       
         Application No. 09/884,489                                                 




              In Janis, a user specifies that only selected activities              
         which occur within a certain date-time frame shall be recorded.            
         We agree with appellants’ argument, at page 4 of the reply brief,          
         that Janis does not describe that a document history log is                
         associated with an identified user, so there is no “selected user          
         identification,” as claimed.   Moreover, since there is no                 
         selected user identification in Janis, Janis cannot disclose               
         disabling history recording processes associated with the browser          
         for an identified session, wherein the identified session is               
         identified based on the selected user identification, as in                
         claims 1, 24, and 43.                                                      
              However, in our view, Janis is not necessary for a proper             
         rejection of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                             
              The examiner and appellants appear to be reading “an                  
         identified session” in claim 1, for example, as denoting that              
         there is a plurality of sessions to choose from and the history            
         recording processes associated with that one identified session            



                                         6
